The Lord's Dominion describes the development of mainstream Canadian Methodism, from its earliest days to its incorporation into the United Church of Canada in 1925. Neil Semple looks at the ways in which the church evolved to take its part in the crusade to Christianize the world and meet the complex needs of Canadian Protestants, especially in the face of the challenges of the twentieth century.
"The Great War has been described as 'the most catastrophic event in the history of Canada'. The response of the students of Mount Allison University to the call of country was unsurpassed in the British Empire. By the fall of 1916 one third of the student body were on the battlefields of France. 73 gave their lives for our freedom. Just two weeks after the signing of the armistice, the Regents of Mount Allison "heartily endorsed the proposition of erecting a Library Building as a War Memorial in honor of Mount Allison students who have made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of our country". Emblazoned in stone over the entry of this remarkable red sandstone landmark it read "Memorial Library 1914-1918". Dr. Marc Milner, Director of the Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society, wrote: "It is not simply a cenotaph, it is an icon of an age, the physical expression of that responsibility to remember." The Minister of Wellness Culture and Sport offered to designate this handsome Andrew Cobb designed building as a 'Provincial Heritage Place'. Yet the Mount Allison Administration objected and last November destroyed this cenotaph to clear the ground for an Arts CEntre. Now the effort of Alumni and friends of Mount Allison to save their beloved historic Memorial Library has been protrayed in a 28-page photo essay conceived as an attractive coffee table book." --
Nineteenth-century New Brunswick society was dominated by white, Protestant, Anglophone men. Yet, during this time of state formation in Canada, women increasingly helped to define and shape a provincial outlook. I wish to keep a record is the first book to focus exclusively on the life-course experiences of nineteenth-century New Brunswick women. Gail G. Campbell offers an interpretive scholarly analysis of 28 women’s diaries while enticing readers to listen to the voices of the diarists. Their diaries show women constructing themselves as individuals, assuming their essential place in building families and communities, and shaping their society by directing its outward gaze and envisioning its future. Campbell’s lively analysis calls on scholars to distinguish between immigrant and native-born women and to move beyond present-day conceptions of such women’s world. This unique study provides a framework for developing an understanding of women's worlds in nineteenth-century North America.
Bessie Scott, nearing the end of her first year at university in the spring of 1890, recorded in her diary: “Wore my gown for first time! It didn’t seem at all strange to do so.” Often deemed a cumbersome tradition by men, the cap and gown were dearly prized by women as an outward sign of their hard-won admission to the rank of undergraduates. For the first generations of university women, higher education was an exhilarating and transformative experience, but these opportunities would narrow in the decades that followed. In University Women Sara MacDonald explores the processes of integration and separation that marked women’s contested entrance into higher education. Examining the period between 1870 and 1930, this book is the first to provide a comparative study of women at universities across Canada. MacDonald concludes that women’s higher education cannot be seen as a progressive narrative, a triumphant story of trailblazers and firsts, of doors being thrown open and staying open. The early promise of equal education was not fulfilled in the longer term, as a backlash against the growing presence of women on campuses resulted in separate academic programs, closer moral regulation, and barriers that restricted their admission into the burgeoning fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The modernization of higher education ultimately marginalized women students, researchers, and faculty within the diversified universities of the twentieth century. University Women uncovers the systemic inequalities based on gender, race, and class that have shaped Canadian higher education. It is indispensable reading for those concerned with the underrepresentation of girls and women in STEM and current initiatives to address issues of access and equity within our academic institutions.
